The exhibition will be on view until the 30 th of Oct, between 11:30 am and

Ann McCoy is a New York artist who studied alchemy in Zurich for 25 years
with Jung's main assistant C. A. Meier. Her work deals with mythology, depth
psychology, comparative religion, and the dream world. Her forthcoming
exhibition at KHOJ represents a political departure from her past work. She
is disturbed by the current policies of the Bush administration with the war
in Iraq and the environmental devastation that is occurring.


THE DEATH AND TRANSFORMATION OF THE MONKEY KING: AN ALCHEMICAL FAIRY TALE
comprised of wall text and projections, deals with Bush as the 'monkey on
the back' of the world, and was inspired by the myth of Osiris, and
alchemical texts. This exhibition examines the problem the lack of 'shadow
reflection' of both the king and his country and the need for renewal.

 The exhibition is divided into four sections. Each room deals with a
different part of the problem in a different dimension. The first is the
history of the Monkey King and the king and his countries "shadow". The
second is the death, dismemberment and reconstitution of the Monkey King. The
third is the introduction and marriage of the Monkey King to the nature
goddess. The last is the birth of the Self, not simply the personal 'self'
but a concept of the self, which includes the transpersonal.
